Good evening Madam,
It is absolutely alright to have 28 teeth.
Your 4 wisdom teeth MAY be still in the jaws which can only be confirmed upon examination using an OPG x-ray.
Next Steps
Don't worry. Once the lockdown is over, go to a dentist and he will guide you accordingly.

You can take a full mouth xray, OPG to give you a better idea. Sometimes the wisdom tooth may not be present, which is normal. Sometimes they may be located at an angle that makes it difficult for it to come out into the mouth. You can get a clearer picture with the xray.
Next Steps
OPG
